from his ancestors, and | am told that
he grew very tired Of being introduced

son of the great john Quincy Adams.
He expressed this feeling at a political
meeting at which he once spoke in con.
nection with Hannibal Hamiin and
other prominent men. Mr.. Adams was
the last speaker. The others reterred tc
him in their speeches. and nearly every
n dilated IN the fact that they had
with them that day the son and a grand.
son of a president. When at last
Charles Francis Adams was introduced
the Chairman of the meeting said: 81

cations which have been made he was charged
with completely in that he knew that the notes

what purported to be real names. A. G. Brax-
ton, Esq, City Attorney, representing the
Commonwealth, caused the arrest of McComb
last Saturday Immediately after his return

THE AUGUSTA AGRICULTURAL AND MACHINE
WoRKs.-The value of this establishment to
Staunton, and the country in trade interests
with 1t. is manifested daily. 1t is especially so
because of the many kinds of implements
manufactured, and the number of special jobs
wanted which are there promptly executed.
Messrs Thomas & Lomax, of West Va, have
recently had made there cast-iron door.frames.
beds, and draft boxes for their coke ovens. At
this time, simiarjob is under execution for
Mr.. NJ. Erskine Miller for his coke ovens in
West Va.
Mr.. White. the Superintendent, who is a
craftsman as well as practical machinist, is
constructing chilled iron turning-plow, and
is making hillside and other turning and sin
gle and double-shovel iron-beam plows. He
has commenced large job OF -rakes which
are for Lynn & Co. The corn-sheler he intro
duced here is pronounced by those who have
used 1t to be first-rate article. An Augusta
farmer. who tested one. says he shelled two
hundred and fifty bushels in one day. Every
grain is taken from the cob. 1t is of simple
construction, runs light, requiring but one
man to turn it. The extent ofcountry through
which these corr. shelters have already gained
reputatio ion is more than was anticipated in so
short time
Some time siuce, Mr.. j. W. Harris CT this
county invented what has proved to be a most
valuable implement in the matter of saving
time. when most needed. The settingof tobac-
CO plants has to be done in wet seasons and in
quick time. Hitherto. until Mr.. Harris's in
vention. those cultivating that crop have had
to plant by hand, but his Invention is an i'm

receiving large run. This implement is man
